Book Review: Fundamentals in Flirting
Fundamentals in Flirting by Lucy Chalice
Review by Erica W, Librarian
Lucy Chalice’s Fundamentals in Flirting is a delightful exploration of love and self-discovery, featuring two wonderfully flawed yet relatable characters, Hannah Havens and Teddy Fraser. Hannah, a dedicated veterinarian, navigates her insecurities and social awkwardness with humor, while Teddy, an outgoing architect, grapples with the complexities of living in the shadow of his seemingly perfect twin.
The story beautifully captures the essence of reconnecting with someone from your past. Hannah and Teddy’s childhood friendship blossoms into a heartwarming romance that is both hilarious and touching. Chalice’s sharp wit shines through in her dialogue, creating moments that are both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply moving.
What makes this book stand out is the authenticity of its characters. Hannah’s struggles with low self-esteem and Teddy’s friendly exterior hiding deeper vulnerabilities make them relatable to anyone who has ever felt out of place. Their journey towards understanding themselves and each other is a testament to the power of love and acceptance.
As a standalone sequel to The Hot Henry Effect, this book not only captivates with its own story but also leaves readers eager for more from Chalice’s world. If you’re looking for a romantic comedy that balances humor with heart, Fundamentals in Flirting is a must-read.
Overall, Lucy Chalice has crafted a charming narrative that reminds us of the beauty in our imperfections and the joy of finding connection amidst life’s chaos. I can’t wait to dive into The Hot Henry Effect next!
